Learning Creole?

This conversation should be your first stop in learning Haitian Creole. We recommend you spend an entire week mastering this lesson. Here’s how to make it stick:

  1. Listen and follow along. Repeat at least 3 times or until you are comfortable.
  2. Read through the Haitian Creole phrases aloud, trying to match the pronunciations you heard. Listen again to check your progress.
  3. Write the phrases on flashcards (our print version coming soon). Practice them until you can go both directions without error. I.E. Creole to English and then English to Creole.
  4. Return to the audio on this page several times to make sure your pronunciation matches the speakers.
  5. Let us know when you’re ready for the Kreyol live test – we’ll schedule a time to talk on the phone with Estherline.
